Broken whispers
escape your throat,
words I can't
understand.
What is it
you wish me to do?
For you I'm always here.
Speak louder, darling,
let me hear,
so I can do
what you need.
Come closer, my love,
let me hold you close,
chasing away your fears.
I want to know
what hurts you,
all of the pain
inside.
But all I hear
are broken whispers,
and I am lost,
reaching out for you,
wondering what it is,
that I could do
to make it go away.
